Critics Review

“David Long excels at telling intriguing stories from the past” – The Independent

“With all the intriguing facts and mysteries of their lives brought to vivid life by Stefano Tambellini’s rich artwork, and published in Barrington Stoke’s trademark dyslexia-friendly format, this is a dazzling addition to a top class series from a dynamic writing and illustration duo.” – Lancashire Post

“For a read that is around the 100-page mark, readers will soon discover that an awful lot has been packed in … making this a great read to support any topic on ancient Egypt in school or just to add to any bookshelf as a great short, nonfiction title for those who prefer a factual read. With illustrations on most of the pages, the book will have huge appeal to those throughout KS2 and will sit perfectly alongside the other titles in the series.” — Mrs Sydney’s Famous World’s Smallest Library, blog
